Suggest Remedy For Persistent Dull Headache

My son who is 19 yo had a dull headache sensation for the past month. Has had his vision checked, been prescribed nasonex, naprosin, steroid regemine. Nothing seems to help. He still carries on with normal activities, work, going to gym, going out with friends. He did have an MRI that came back normal.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your son is having persistent dull headache. My response to your query is as below.

Since his eye examination is normal this rules out eye problems like refractive errors as a cause for headache.
The tablets he has been prescribed are mainly for migraine headache.
The treatment prescribed by your doctor is in right direction and he needs to continue the treatment as advised and no need to be worried he will be fine.

Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.

With regards
I find this answer helpful
